   قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ بَعْدَمَا كُفَّ بَصَرُهُ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ مُسَلِّمًا، وَانْتَسَبْتُ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: مَرْحَبًا ابْنَ أَخِي، بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ حَسَنُ الصَّوْتِ بِالْقُرْآنِ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ نَزَلَ بِحُزْنٍ، فَإِذَا قَرَأْتُمُوهُ فَابْكُوا، فَإِنْ لَمْ تَبْكُوا فَتَبَاكَوْا، وَتَغَنَّوْا بِهِ، فَمَنْ لَمْ يَتَغَنَّ بِهِ، فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا

   ✧ Sa'd b. Malik came to us after he had lost his sight, so I went to him to greet him and identified myself to him. He said: Welcome, son of my brother. I have heard that you have a good voice for the Quran. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'This Quran was sent down with sorrow. So when you recite it, weep; and if you do not weep, then make yourselves weep, and chant it. For whoever does not chant it is not one of us.'

   شَكَا أَهْلُ الْكُوفَةِ سَعْدًا إِلَى عُمَرَ، فَقَالُوا: إِنَّهُ لَا يُحْسِنُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ، فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ: " أَمَّا أَنَا، فَإِنِّي كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي بِهِمْ صَلَاةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، صَلَاتَيِ الْعِشَاءِ لَا أَخْرِمُ مِنْهَا، أَرْكُدُ فِي الْأُولَيَيْنِ، وَأَحْذِفُ فِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: ذَاكَ الظَّنُّ بِكَ يَا أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ. وَبَعَثَ رِجَالًا يَسْأَلُونَ عَنْهُ بِالْكُوفَةِ، فَكَانُوا لَا يَأْتُونَ مَسْجِدًا مِنْ مَسَاجِدِ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ إِلَّا قَالُوا خَيْرًا أَوْ أَثْنَوْا خَيْرًا، حَتَّى أَتَى مَسْجِدًا مِنْ مَسَاجِدِ بَنِي عَبْسٍ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو سَعْدَةَ: أَمَا إِذْ نَشَدْتُمُونَا بِاللهِ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ لَا يَعْدِلُ فِي الْقَضِيَّةِ، وَلَا يَقْسِمُ بِالسَّوِيَّةِ، وَلَا يَسِيرُ بِالسَّرِيَّةِ، فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ كَاذِبًا فَأَعْمِ بَصَرَهُ، وَأَطِلْ عُمْرَهُ، وَعَرِّضْهُ لِلْفِتَنِ. قَالَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ: فَأَنَا رَأَيْتُهُ بَعْدُ يَتَعَرَّضُ لِلْإِمَاءِ فِي السِّكَكِ، فَإِذَا سُئِلَ: كَيْفَ أَنْتَ ؟ يَقُولُ: كَبِيرٌ فَقِيرٌ مَفْتُونٌ، أَصَابَتْنِي دَعْوَةُ سَعْدٍ.

   ✧ The people of Kufa complained about Sa'd to Umar, saying: 'He does not pray well.' Sa'd said: 'As for me, I used to lead them in the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, the two evening prayers, without omitting anything from them. I would be deliberate in the first two and shorten the last two.' Umar said: 'That is what is expected of you, O Abu Ishaq.' He sent men to inquire about him in Kufa. They did not come to any mosque among the mosques of the people of Kufa but that the people spoke well of him and praised him, until they came to a mosque among the mosques of Banu Abs. There a man called Abu Sa'dah said: 'Since you have adjured us by Allah, he did not act justly in judgment, nor divide equally, nor conduct expeditions properly.' Sa'd said: 'O Allah, if he is lying, then blind his sight, prolong his life, and expose him to trials.' Abd al-Malik said: I later saw him accosting slave women in the streets. When he was asked, 'How are you?' he would say: 'Old, poor, and afflicted. The supplication of Sa'd has overtaken me.'

    ✧ I said to Sa'd b. Malik: I want to ask you about a hadith, and I am in awe of you to ask you about it. He said: Do not do that, O son of my brother. If you know that I have knowledge, then ask me about it and do not hold me in awe. He said: I said: The saying of the Messenger of God ﷺ to Ali when he left him behind in Madinah during the expedition of Tabuk. He said: O Messenger of God, you are leaving me behind among the women and children? He said: Are you not pleased that you are to me in the position of Aaron to Moses? He said: Yes, O Messenger of God. He said: Then Ali turned away hurrying, and it is as if I can see the dust of his feet rising. And Hammad said: Ali returned hurrying.

    " إِنِّي أُحَرِّمُ مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيِ الْمَدِينَةِ، كَمَا حَرَّمَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ حَرَمَهُ، لَا يُقْطَعُ عِضَاهُهَا، وَلَا يُقْتَلُ صَيْدُهَا، وَلَا يَخْرُجُ عَنْهَا أَحَدٌ رَغْبَةً عَنْهَا إِلَّا أَبْدَلَهَا اللهُ خَيْرًا مِنْهُ. وَالْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ، وَلَا يُرِيدُهُمْ أَحَدٌ بِسُوءٍ إِلَّا أَذَابَهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى ذَوْبَ الرَّصَاصِ فِي النَّارِ، وَذَوْبَ الْمِلْحِ فِي الْمَاءِ

    ✧ "I declare inviolable what lies between the two lava tracts of Madinah, just as Abraham declared his sanctuary inviolable. Its thorn trees shall not be cut, its game shall not be killed, and no one shall depart from it out of aversion to it except that God will replace it for him with something better. And Madinah is better for them, if only they knew. No one intends them harm except that God Almighty will melt him as lead is melted in the fire, and as salt is melted in water."

    ✧ I said to my father: O my dear father, what do you think of His saying: "Those who are heedless of their prayer" — which of us does not become heedless? Which of us does not talk to himself?

    ✧ I asked my father Sa'd, and I said: O my father, "Those who are heedless of their prayer" — is it the heedlessness of one of us in his prayer, the talking of his self?

    ✧ He proposed to a woman in Makkah while he was with the Messenger of God ﷺ, so he said: "If only I had someone who could see her, and tell me about her." A man called Hit said: "I will describe her for you: when she approaches, you would say she walks on six; when she turns away, you would say she walks on four." The Messenger of God ﷺ said to me: "I consider this objectionable; I think he knows about women's affairs." He used to visit Sawdah, so he forbade him from visiting her. When he came to Madinah, he banished him. This remained so until the caliphate of Umar. He struggled, so he allowed him to enter Madinah on Fridays, and he would give him charity.

    أَنَّهُ نَزَلَتْ فِيهِ آيَاتٌ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ قَالَ: حَلَفَتْ أُمُّ سَعْدٍ لَا تُكَلِّمُهُ أَبَدًا حَتَّى يَكْفُرَ بِدِينِهِ، وَلَا تَأْكُلُ وَلَا تَشْرَبُ، قَالَتْ: زَعَمْتَ أَنَّ اللهَ أَوْصَاكَ بِوَالِدَيْكَ، وَأَنَا أُمُّكَ، وَأَنَا آمُرُكَ بِهَذَا، قَالَ: مَكَثَتْ ثَلَاثًا حَتَّى غُشِيَ عَلَيْهَا مِنَ الْجَهْدِ، فَقَامَ ابْنٌ لَهَا يُقَالُ لَهُ: عُمَارَةُ فَسَقَاهَا، فَجَعَلَتْ تَدْعُو عَلَى سَعْدٍ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ: وَوَصَّيْنَا الإِنْسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ حُسْنًا وَإِنْ جَاهَدَاكَ لِتُشْرِكَ بِي مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ فَلا تُطِعْهُمَا إِلَيَّ مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَأُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ. قَالَ: وَأَصَابَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ غَنِيمَةً عَظِيمَةً، فَإِذَا فِيهَا سَيْفٌ، فَأَخَذْتُهُ فَأَتَيْتُ بِهِ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ: نَفِّلْنِي هَذَا السَّيْفَ، فَأَنَا مَنْ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: " رُدَّهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَخَذْتَهُ "، فَرَجَعْتُ بِهِ، ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَرَاجَعْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: " رُدَّهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَخَذْتَهُ "، فَانْطَلَقْتُ حَتَّى إِذَا أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُلْقِيَهُ فِي الْقَبْضِ لَامَتْنِي نَفْسِي، فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَيْهِ، فَقُلْتُ: أَعْطِنِيهِ، قَالَ: فَشَدَّ لِي صَوْتَهُ، فَقَالَ: " رُدَّهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَخَذْتَهُ " فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ: يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الأَنْفَالِ. وَأَرْسَلْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَتَانِي، فَقُلْتُ: دَعْنِي أَقْسِمُ مَالِي حَيْثُ شِئْتُ. فَأَبَى، فَقُلْتُ: فَالنِّصْفُ، فَأَبَى، فَقُلْتُ: فَالثُّلُثُ، فَسَكَتَ. فَكَانَ يُعَدُّ الثُّلُثُ جَائِزًا. قَالَ: وَأَتَيْتُ عَلَى نَفَرٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، وَالْمُهَاجِرِينَ، فَقَالُوا: تَعَالَ نُطْعِمْكَ وَنَسْقِيكَ خَمْرًا، وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُحَرَّمَ الْخَمْرُ، فَأَتَيْتُهُمْ فِي حُشٍّ - وَالْحُشُّ: الْبُسْتَانُ - فَإِذَا رَأْسُ جَزُورٍ مَشْوِيٍّ عِنْدَهُمْ، وَزِقٌّ مِنْ خَمْرٍ، قَالَ: فَأَكَلْتُ وَشَرِبْتُ مَعَهُمْ، قَالَ: فَذَكَرْتُ الْأَنْصَارَ، وَالْمُهَاجِرِينَ، فَقُلْتُ: الْمُهَاجِرُونَ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، قَالَ: فَأَخَذَ رَجُلٌ لَحْيَ الرَّأْسِ فَضَرَبَنِي بِهِ فَجَرَحَ بِأَنْفِي، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ فِيَّ - يَعْنِي نَفْسَهُ - شَأْنَ الْخَمْرِ: إِنَّمَا الْخَمْرُ وَالْمَيْسِرُ وَالأَنْصَابُ وَالأَزْلامُ رِجْسٌ مِنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطَانِ

    ✧ Verses of the Qur'an were revealed concerning him. He said: The mother of Sa'd swore that she would never speak to him again until he disbelieved in his religion, and that she would not eat or drink. She said: You claim that Allah has enjoined upon you to honor your parents, and I am your mother, and I command you to do this. He said: She remained for three days until she fainted from exhaustion. Then a son of hers called 'Umara got up and gave her water, and she began to pray against Sa'd. Then Allah revealed this verse: 'And We have enjoined upon man goodness toward his parents. But if they endeavor to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them. To Me is your return, and I will inform you of what you used to do.' He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ obtained a great amount of booty, and in it was a sword. I took it and brought it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: Give me this sword as a gift, for I am one whom you know. He said: 'Return it to where you took it from.' I went back with it, then I returned after that and spoke to him again, and he said: 'Return it to where you took it from.' I went away until, when I wanted to throw it into the pile of spoils, my soul reproached me, so I returned to him and said: Give it to me. He said: He raised his voice at me and said: 'Return it to where you took it from.' Then Allah revealed: 'They ask you about the spoils of war.' I sent for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he came to me. I said: Allow me to divide my wealth wherever I wish. He refused. I said: Then half. He refused. I said: Then a third. He remained silent. So a third was considered permissible. He said: I came upon a group of the Ansar and the Muhajirun, and they said: Come, we will feed you and give you wine to drink - and that was before wine was forbidden. I went to them in a hush - and hush means a garden - and there was a roasted camel's head with them, and a skin of wine. He said: I ate and drank with them. He said: Then I mentioned the Ansar and the Muhajirun and said: The Muhajirun are better than the Ansar. He said: A man took the jawbone of the head and struck me with it, wounding my nose. I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him. Then Allah revealed concerning me - meaning himself - the matter of wine: 'Intoxicants, gambling, idolatrous sacrifices, and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan.'

He said: "You will not be left behind and then do a righteous deed seeking thereby the face of God except that you will increase thereby in rank and elevation.
